Notes on the AQA A-level 2027 timetable

Biology Paper 1 and Computer Science Paper 1 now share the afternoon of Monday 7 June 2027. A student taking both will need the school to arrange a clash. That is new: in 2026 Computer Science Paper 1 came on a different day from every Biology paper. Elsewhere the changes are modest. Maths Paper 1 comes forward by eight days, Physics Paper 3 stays on 8 June, and Chemistry Paper 1 moves to the last Friday in May.

AQA still asks centres to hand in practical endorsement and non-exam assessment marks by Saturday 15 May 2027. Results go to schools on Wednesday 11 August 2027 and to students on Thursday 12 August 2027, and the contingency day is Wednesday 23 June 2027, the day after the last A-level paper on the common timetable.
